665: Chapter 665 Phoenix

"However, the final result isn't decided by Nian Haocang, but by Princess Youyou. There's still a chance!"

Hun Tiandi said indifferently.

"Hmph, then let me test the heroes of the world!"

Two months passed in the blink of an eye. Hun Tiandi, Cang Chengjun, and Gu Ci gathered at Princess Youyou's Estate.

Today was the day the literary trial began.

As for the rules of this literary trial, the judge was none other than Princess Youyou herself.

Above the estate, on a floating island, Princess Youyou sat within the palace accompanied by Miss Ninger, looking at the three desks outside.

Standing at them were Hun Tiandi, Cang Chengjun, and Gu Ci, with brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones laid out.

"The literary trial begins! The time limit is two hours. It all depends on your personal luck!" Miss Ninger's crisp voice echoed in their ears.

After speaking, she glanced at Hun Tiandi on the far right.

Cang Chengjun appeared very happy, Gu Ci was full of confidence, and Hun Tiandi gave a wicked smile.

Cang Chengjun and Gu Ci did not resort to trickery; they spread out their papers, picked up their quill pens, dipped them in ink, and began to write.

Writing on the spot demonstrated their true talents and showed their complete sincerity.

Everything depended on their own genuine ability.

Cang Chengjun frowned slightly, the Buddhist seal on his forehead blooming incessantly. He moved his brush from time to time, looking extremely serious.

Gu Ci smiled confidently, his brush moving like a dragon, fully displaying the literary cultivation of a Heavenly Dynasty's crown prince.

While they were writing with rapt attention, Hun Tiandi also began to move.

Taking a deep breath, he closed and then opened his eyes. The power of Sword Heart Clarity surged into his pupils, and suddenly, the world before him began to fragment.

Countless Laws of Heaven and Earth were like a giant web, enveloping the entire vault of heaven.

They were faint and flickering, drifting uncertainly.

What Hun Tiandi had to do next was write his poem on the paper of Law, finding its trajectory.

He would write the essay in his heart using the way the Laws of Heaven and Earth operated.

However, the patterns of the Laws of Heaven and Earth were infinite; making the characters overlap with the Laws was no easy task.

The one thing Hun Tiandi did not lack was patience. He lowered his brush slowly onto the snow-white paper, his movements slow and careful.

By now, Cang Chengjun and Gu Ci had almost finished their essays.

The Holy Son of Cangtian, Cang Chengjun, completed the final stroke. As the brush fell, a grand Buddhist sound suddenly rang out, like ten thousand Arhats chanting sutras.

"Infinite Life Buddha!"

From Cang Chengjun's manuscript, a world of golden light burst forth. Within it, countless solemn phantom Arhats struck wooden fish, resembling a Mortal Dynasty's kingdom.

They grew more numerous and larger, an endless realm of mountains and rivers, a magnificent world, like the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss.

Map of the Western Paradise Arhat Buddhist Kingdom!

Golden swastika Buddhist seals filled the surroundings, dyeing the entire area into a golden kingdom.

Then, they returned once more into the white jade paper, which now emitted a faint golden glow.

Ang!

Suddenly, Gu Ci also completed his final stroke, finishing his essay.

Ang...

Abruptly, a giant purple dragon charged out from Gu Ci's essay into the vault of heaven. This massive purple dragon phantom wasn't created by a Dou Technique or secret method; it was the birth of an essay radiating a kingly Aura.

It gave off an extremely powerful and overbearing Aura.

Concentrating spirit into form, a vast and massive purple dragon phantom circled and danced in the sky.

Cang Chengjun's expression tightened, turning solemn as he saw Gu Ci's essay burst forth with a ferocious purple dragon circling above it.

Roar...

The purple dragon circled and roared, its cry shaking heaven and earth, before turning to dive back into the essay, which suddenly took on a pale purple glow.

Gu Ci looked at Cang Chengjun triumphantly.

Map of the Purple Dragon King Who Defies Heaven!

Cang Chengjun's Map of the Western Paradise Arhat Buddhist Kingdom!

Gu Ci's Map of the Purple Dragon King Who Defies Heaven!

The two were evenly matched. If such startling essays were used in the imperial examinations of the Da Gan Heavenly Dynasty, they would surely take the top spot.

Who would have thought that two such world-startling works would appear today?

Inside the palace, Princess Youyou and Miss Ninger watched this scene calmly, seemingly waiting for the final person, Hun Tiandi.

He stood patiently before his desk, looking at his essay.

But Hun Tiandi was still writing. In the state of Sword Heart Clarity, power surged into his eyes, viewing the world's patterns of Law.

He wrote stroke after stroke with great difficulty.

"the phoenix seeks his mate!"

"There is a beautiful lady, Youyou, whom I cannot forget. Not seeing her for a day makes me mad with longing. The Phoenix flies and soars, seeking his mate across the four seas."

"Alas, the beautiful lady, Youyou, is not by the eastern wall. I shall let these words speak for me, to briefly express my heart."

"When will you grant me your favor and soothe my hesitation? I wish to match your virtue, Youyou, and walk hand in hand with you."

"If we cannot fly together, I shall perish. Phoenix, oh Phoenix, return to your home, and roam the four seas to seek your mate."

Hun Tiandi wrote slowly. This was an adaptation of "the phoenix seeks his mate." The literary style wasn't stunning, but it poured out the feelings in his heart.

His handwriting was such that no one could compare.

Everyone present, as well as those in the shadows, could not see through Hun Tiandi. He seemed shrouded in a layer of mist, making him impossible to see clearly.

Cang Chengjun and Gu Ci glanced at each other. He was still writing?

At this moment, Hun Tiandi's final stroke was also completed.

As the stroke landed, the paper before Hun Tiandi erupted with red light, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

Another world-startling work?

Red light? Why was it red light?

Princess Youyou looked up at Hun Tiandi. He put down his brush and calmly watched the red light surge into the vault of heaven, like an endless cloud of blood.

Whoosh...

A wild wind blew as the red light illuminated the sky, accompanied by endless black clouds gathering overhead.

Rumble!

The black clouds swirled like a vortex, a powerful Aura permeating the air, erupting with a supreme heavenly might.

Lightning gathered and flickered, crashing down with a roar.

It seemed intent on destroying Hun Tiandi, on striking him dead.

"Die!"

Gu Ci looked at the violent lightning, feeling joyful in his heart. If the heavenly lightning struck Hun Tiandi dead, it would save him the trouble of personally taking revenge for the First Prince.

"Good!"

Cang Chengjun was equally excited. A mere ant-like Dou Zong dared to possess the supreme treasure of my Cangtian Holy Land.

And he even dared to compete for the woman.

Princess Youyou clenched her jade-like hands and held them to her chest in prayer, hoping nothing would go wrong.

Beside her, Miss Ninger was stunned.

Even the Dagan elites around them were terrified as they watched the heavenly lightning, their hearts filled with shock.

Just writing an essay, how did it cause rolling heavenly thunder?

Rumble!

The lightning struck down from the sky. It wanted to destroy Hun Tiandi—no, it wanted to destroy the essay in front of him.

The pressure grew stronger and stronger, to the point where those with low cultivation could hardly breathe.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Who is that man?"

"What did he write? For the heavens to send down such thunderbolts to destroy it?"

"Has he provoked the wrath of heaven?"

Hun Tiandi's essay should not have been born; it was not tolerated by heaven and earth. Once the essay was completed, it was recorded by the Laws of Heaven and Earth, and this was an affront to the heavenly might of the heavens.

It had to be completely destroyed!

Gantian Holy Palace!

Nian Haocang's eyes narrowed as he looked intently at the scene. "Is this Hun Tiandi's true strength?"

"How is it possible? An Eight-Star Dou Zong has such ability?"

"Is this some kind of joke? Heavenly thunder and lightning?"

Hun Tiandi felt a bit depressed. Was this really necessary?

Yin...

Suddenly, from within the essay radiating red light, the cries of two phoenixes rang out. Two phoenixes with divine feathers of iridescent colors appeared, their forms shifting incessantly and looking extremely beautiful.

They spread their wings and soared, snuggling against each other as they danced in mid-air.

the phoenix seeks his mate? Within the Phoenix cries, a lingering Concept of tenderness could be faintly heard, like a man pouring out his endless love to his beloved woman.

It was like calling out for a mate: "Phoenix, oh Phoenix, return to your home, and roam the four seas to seek your mate."

The Feng is the male, and the Huang is the female; their wings, like arms, folded together and flapped gently.

The Feng was seeking the Huang, emitting cry after cry to describe the scene of his love.

"the phoenix seeks his mate" was originally the most beautiful poem between lovers in the world.

Hun Tiandi stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky helplessly. What should he do?

The lightning struck toward the red light. Bolts as thick as water vats poured down, intending to destroy Hun Tiandi's essay.

Ten thousand bolts of lightning—what a spectacular sight.

Not just inside the Princess's Estate, but countless people outside also saw the heavenly thunder crashing down upon it.

"What on earth is going on over there?"

"Teacher, has a fight broken out inside?" Mu Qingluan said, dumbstruck. She spoke to Saint Feng beside her, her voice filled with disbelief.

No one could have imagined that a single essay of "the phoenix seeks his mate" would actually trigger rolling heavenly thunder!
